Abstract
We develop a path-following algorithm for redesign of tracking feedback laws to reduce the control effort. Our algorithm provides a tradeoff between the control effort and the dynamic performance along the path, while maintaining the desired convergence to the path. We illustrate it on a realistic hovercraft model, and compare the resulting control effort with control efforts of other path-following and tracking algorithms
